Tamar Clears Up Baby Logan Comments

Last week Tamar Braxton raised eyebrows after she was quoted saying it wasn't love at first sight with her infant son Logan [click here if you missed that].

Tamar explains what she REALLY meant...

Tamar tells BET,

“Yes you do love your child. I love mine. But you’re shocked. You cannot believe that this person was swimming in your belly for nine months and here you are. Now you’re a mother. And I’m thinking, ‘Oh my goodness, I’m a mother and this is my baby.’ It feels like a dream actually. That’s what I meant when I said I didn’t fall in love immediately. I was in complete shock.”

I don't remember thinking "my I love my child," it was inherent. You carry a baby for 9 months, what other option do you have but to love it, I didn't know it was a rule that you had to express that love as soon as you give birth...but what do I know, my children our both grown, and the rules of life have changed drastically in the past 22 years.

I bet she'll be a great mom! She has great examples around her, besides,it seems as though her husband loves her unconditionally- he'll be there to support her- besides, she's rich- if all else fails, she can pay a really great nanny to raise her child- but Im sure her family would be there to help out as well.. it always happens like that for the last sibling. She's actually truly blessed. She's experiencing things that most Black women only dream of. GOD bless her.

I understood exactly what she said and meant the first time and I didn't see what the big deal was then. You love your child and feel responsible right away but the emotional attachment develops over time. It's obviously going to be different for different people but what she said was nothing new. It been said forever. I'm tired of celebrities always feeling the need to clarify their statements. why should they have to?

I totally get what she is saying. I felt the same way. The doctors were like you want us to wash your baby off or give her to you as soon as she come out I'm like umm no wash her off and then when she came out the first thing I said was I can't believe I had a baby. I can't believe I'm a mom. Lol I was shocked as well. Everyone is different. But I totally understand where she is coming from.

Say what you mean and mean what you say Madame. It really is ok not to fall in love with your baby at first sight. Don't let self-righteous people tell you otherwise. Here, this will help you and maybe others to understand this phenomena. Open your mind people!

@1:32PM I agree with your comment she must have thought that she would have the cutest baby in the world (did not happen) that's why you don't see the baby only her..she wasn't ready to be a MOM she just wanted to lock up Vince's MONEY FOR LIFE..

She is so damn superficial. Her stating it wasn't love at first sight is in regard to how her baby looked when he was born.I guarantee her baby looked like an alien and she thought he was ugly. Let's be real, not all newborns are pretty.

But, comments like that need to stay in her head. Her child will read about that comment later in life and say, "Daddy, you are right. She is a gold digger."

I get her first statement but her attempt to clean it up is a damn lie to please the public. The reality of it is, when it's your first child you aren't expecting to see what you see. Newborns aren't cute. Did I love my baby? YES!IMMEDIATELY! But I thought he looked like Benjamin Button.

way too much..its okay to have opinions ,but not cool to share with the media including social networks every silly thought in your head about yourself and other celebs ,etc..she is very impressed with herself..she is the least prettiest Braxton to me and the most ill mannered..gold digger? I don't think Vincent was always rich,but she is a material girl for sure.

The only reason that she had a baby was to keep her husband. Because for an entire season on the Braxton's and her an Vince show that she didn't want kids...why would anyone be surprised? The only time that she will have to pretend that she is in love with her baby in when she does the tv shows and as soon as taping is over she can hand the little boy off to his second momma. Good thing Vince has enough money to pay for all the nannies in the world so she won't have to be bothered.

@4:30 PM - theyve been together for over 10 years. I think Vinxce wanted a baby, but it didnt look like he was going to leave her over it. It seemed that he didnt want her to really ENTER the music business, but he still supported her efforts... are we watching the same show?? LOL

@6:06 PM - no sweetie, just watching the show, I live my own life. And if you think watching a TV show is living their life, youre sad.Its just entertainment. I get up and work, chill with my family, friends and loved ones... thats MY life honey.. and guess what, I can catch a sitcom or 2 while doing so, WOW!!! LOL.. calm down, Im nor superwoman LMAO

@6:09, you can try to portray it anyway you want but anytime you feel the need to defend some celebrity because someone says something about them that you might not like is living your life through theirs. Quit trying to make it seem like I am mad or something, that is really not the case, all I am doing is responding, which by the way, is the last time I will do so. So you can "LOL" and "LMAO" all you want while defending your hero and stating that you live the fabulous life. GTFOOHWTB

@546 she kills that song live! Tamar can sing! You are a hater and I don't even like her like that bc she talks to much. But u just sound like "I hate bc I hate to hate hate hate and then later we hated!"

@617 you are mad! Get it together! I hope your this passionate abt your job....prob not bc you to busy being angry at other people's success. Nobody's on here defending celebs just stating what they know abt the show. If you don't watch it why you on here going so hard on subject that you clearly don't care about that's fuq head shit! "I don't like it but I want you to not like it either and will fight to the death with you over some shit I don't like even though i dont have to speak on it at all bc after all I don't care or like it". Your the backwards version of that we want more kid!

Bitch that's that shit I don't like!! Fuckin get grip go into a thread u do like and cool the fuq off Mangry!!Hahahaha that's what u should change handle to .... Mangry

yo she may have a good voice but that song SUCKS all day...idc what chart it topped it sure as hell aint make her no star...just annoyed the beejeezus out of me every freakin single time i was forced by radio to listen to it to get to the damm news...gospel us her lane and and she should hurry up and get in it...would love to hear that....also its no crime to have a delayed emotional reaction right after givin birth but it is IGNORANT to publicize it damm does this girl ever stfu?.. btw remove the raggedy wig and i see a braxton brother.....tamar you may have that seat!

Cut Tamar a break. That happens to some mothers sometimes. Usually the ones that are very self absorbed like Tamar is. Eventually the get that lovey dovey feeling and it hits them like a ton of bricks out of nowhere. Jumping all over someone over what you think a mother "should" feel like with her child is a bit too judgemental.

I think it is important for people to tell there true feelings especially when it isn't the cookie cutter Leave it to beaver/Clair Huxtable mother type. This might help a new mother out there relate and feel less guilty about not bonding immediately over time because of hormones,shock,tiredness or postpartum(she might even get help for it)
